YEMEN EMERGENCY APPEAL
Help Action For Humanity provide emergency food, shelter materials, and essential supplies to conflict-affected and displaced families in Yemen.
What's Going On?
Renewed fighting across Ta’iz and Al Hodeidah has forced more than 2,100 families from their homes. Many have fled with little more than the clothes they were wearing.
They urgently need food, clean water, safe sanitation, and help covering essentials such as shelter, transport, and medicine.
Action For Humanity is preparing an emergency response with its team and established local partners. Your donation can help us reach displaced families as needs and access conditions evolve.

Our response
FOOD SECURITY & LIVELIHOODS
The ongoing conflict has decimated Yemen’s economy. Vast numbers of businesses have closed, reducing purchasing power and compounding the scarcity of food, medicine, and other essentials.
In response, we provide wide-ranging support in the form of food aid, public services, and financial assistance. 2022 saw the launch of our livelihood restoration projects, which help families restore their income and re-launch small businesses.
We also assisted families in some of Yemen’s most impoverished areas by providing assets and cash assistance alongside business training. This project improved the resilience of 480 households by providing livelihood opportunities to those most in need.
ORPHANS AND CHILD WELFARE
Roughly 1.1 million children in Yemen are orphaned due to the ongoing conflict. These children require financial support for essential items such as food, clothing, and school costs. Yemen's children are growing up through one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. With health facilities closed or partially functioning due to war, millions of children are vulnerable to diseases on top of an existing famine and poverty crisis.
Through our Sponsorship Program, we minimize the risk, harm, exploitation, and abuse of children. We sponsored 46 children in 2022 by providing their guardians with a monthly cash assistance to meet each child’s essential needs.
WATER & SANITATION
More than 16 million Yemeni people (including 8.47 million children) are in urgent need of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) assistance. This forces increasing numbers to resort to negative coping mechanisms, increasing the risk of malnutrition and waterborne disease.
We provide thousands of people with access to safe drinking water through a wide range of projects. These include building water tanks, drilling new wells, installing solar-powered pumps and providing chlorination tablets.
